This thesis describes a test environment for evaluating computer system dependability, wherein faults are injected via software and the impact is measured by both software and hardware. The hybrid nature of the environment ...

In low pressure electron cyclotron resonance and remote plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactors (milliTorr to hundreds of milliTorr) the mean free path of excited state neutrals can be commensurate with the ...

Globalization is producing an increasingly interconnected world with blurring political, economic, and particularly cultural boundaries among nations. The growing interconnectedness and the resulting hybridization of ...

The analysis of steel and composite frames has traditionally been carried out by idealizing beam-to-column connections as either rigid or pinned. Although some advanced analysis methods have been proposed to account for ...

Novel analytical sampling techniques are investigated in an effort to advance the exploration of chemical reactions underlying life processes. The analysis of substances found in living organisms is challenging and includes ...

A hybrid plasma-semiconductor phototransistor has been realized by substituting a plasma for the collector of an npn bipolar junction transistor. Designated as the plasma bipolar junction transistor (PBJT), this optoelectronic ...

In the last century great progress was achieved in developing processors with extremely high computational capabilities. However, one of the biggest suppressors of those capabilities is the memory subsystem. Many approaches ...

Fully-welded connections for earthquake resistance of steel frames are costly and their
performance is adversely affected by weld defects and low-cycle fatigue. An alternative to welded
connections is the bolted top and ...

C/C++ are the languages of choice for development of many widely used
system softwares. However, these languages do not provide the strong safety
guarantees that safe languages such as Java do. Programming mistakes ...
